In Maine, a recount can be requested if the margin between the top two candidates is less than 1 percent of the total number of votes cast in the race. If the margin is greater than 1 percent, a losing candidate can request a recount by filing a written request with the Secretary of State within five business days after the election. The candidate must file a deposit of $500 if the margin is within 2 percent and 4 percent, and $1,000 if the margin is greater than 4 percent. No deposit is required if the margin is less than 2 percent.

Races decided by less than 2 percent with 100 percent of precincts reporting:
